POLITICO 44

“Gabby: A Story of Courage and Hope” is co-written by Giffords and her husband, Mark Kelly, and is expected to hit stores on Nov. 15.

With a cover that features the couple smiling in each other’s arms, the book promises to tell a “deeply personal account” of the pair’s romance, careers and the Jan. 8 shooting in Tucson in which the congresswoman was shot in the head.

The front of the audiobook features the same photo on the hardcover version of the book, and the bottom right corner of the cover reads, “Read by Mark Kelly with a final chapter read by Gabrielle Giffords.”

Giffords, who has largely stayed out of the public spotlight since the Tucson shooting, attended Kelly’s retirement ceremony from the Navy earlier this month. It was reported at the end of August that the Arizona lawmaker could walk with a cane and write with her left hand.

Liberals are going to wring the last bit of misery out of this poor woman's tragedy. It's disgusting.

Giffords and her husband are showing an exceptional amount of courage in doing what they're doing. That last chapter must have been extraordinarily difficult, both physically and emotionally.

Why you would be so small to suggest they're exploiting their own personal tragedy --as well as a national tragedy-- says volumes. And, for what it's worth, Gabby Giffords is a moderate, with as many friends on the other side of the aisle.
